1.2 Intended Use

The AD226 diagnostic audiometer is designed to be a device for diagnosing hearing loss. Output and
specificity of this type of device are based on the test characteristics defined by the user, and may vary
depending on environmental and operating conditions. The diagnosing of hearing loss using this kind of
diagnostic audiometer depends on the interaction with the patient. However, for patients not responding well
possibilities of various tests allow the tester of having at least some evaluative result. Thus, a "normal
hearing" result should not allow for ignoring other contra indications in this case. A full audiologic evaluation
should be administered if concerns about hearing sensitivity persist.
The AD226 audiometer is intended to be used by an audiologist, hearing healthcare professional, or trained
technician in an extremely quiet environment according to the ISO standard 8253-1.. . This instrument is
intended for all patient groups regarding sex, age and health. Careful handling of instrument whenever in
contact with patient should be of high priority. Calm and stable positioning while testing is preferred for
optimal accuracy.
